I would split the crew in half, giving your friend 10-11 and keeping 10-11.  Maybe half prepping and you working on menu items with the other half. I think splitting will give you both a more accurate evaluation of each new hire. Identify the stronger hires and put them in key positions.

  You can swap out players with each other according to their strengths . I'm assuming that your stronger people will already have prep experience. Good Luck my friend, you'll get it done. We always do.
